How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

The school was good (facilities, ideals, students) but the admissions day was poor. I sat in on a pretty good Cardio lecturer.

What impressed you negatively?

The Top Doc Cafe was a dive. The admissions day was very lax and the video they played wasn't very interesting the second time through.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers were kind of rough.

What are your general comments?

So that you know, the story on tuition is that if you are out of state, you will pay out of state tuition for one year, then in state for the last 3. This is new for the 2013 class.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

More organized. The video was cute but we sat and watched it a couple times through.
